The closest Behr paint to Vista Paint John's Blue (0617) is Hawaiian Sky PPU14-07, a delta-E of 1.26 away — close enough to swap without anyone noticing, though a large sample in daylight will show the difference.

Hawaiian Sky is 2 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as blue against blue, at chroma 17.9 and 18.0.

Codes are not transferable between manufacturers and no brand publishes a conversion table, so every figure here is measured from the published hex values rather than taken from a chart.
